13. Imagine you are to arrange a meeting in a multinational company. Focus on the cultural aspects to be taken into account while planning the agenda.

While planning the agenda for a meeting in a multinational company, first aspect that should be taken into consideration is time. What is the tome difference in your and your partner company. It may happen that you have 7-hour difference. In such case, the most efficient and low-budget option is to arrange the meeting by taking the middle path and as it is widely known, 16:00 PM is ideal time both for India and America.

14. You have a plan staffing over the Christmas period. Everyone wants time off? and you feel priority should go to those with small children. However? there are childless staff who feel unfairly treated because they always have to work at Christmas. What will you o to resolve the problem in a fair way?

I would like to present you my idea how to cope with this problem of planning holidays. If I were the manager of the company, I would ask everyone his plans for the coming Christmas. I'm pretty much sure that everyone would like to spend time with his/her family, friends, etc.

In this case, I would offer them a kind of questionnaire where I will put questions concerning Christmas - attitude, traditions, willingness to celebrate.

If the results were negative and I couldn't distinguish volunteers to work at holidays, I would offer them additional perks. For example, a higher salary or additional days-off after holidays.

In my mind, such approach could lead to a positive result.
